title: Tuning the shape of nanoparticles to control their catalytic properties: selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene on Pd/Al2O3.
abstract: Shape-controlled Pd nanoparticles supported on powder alumina are more efficient for selective butadiene hydrogenation to butene when they exhibit high fractions of (111) facets.
